ATP 250 Geneva 1/16-Finals
Sell – Marozsan: 20.05.2025 11:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Karue Sell has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Bogota, Sell lost in the opening round of the Challenger tournament. This week in Geneva, he qualified for the main draw tournament, winning both qualifying matches in three tight sets.
Fabian Marozsan has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Rome, Marozsan lost in the 1/16-Finals against Mensik in tight straight sets. This will be his second appearance in Geneva. Last season, Marozsan lost in the opening round against Shevchenko in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sell is the big underdog in this matchup, and we agree. He is a Challenger Tour-level player. On the other hand, Marozsan is a solid clay-court player fighting for a place in the top 50. His experience and quality will prevail in this match.
That being said, Marozsan covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Fabian Marozsan -5.5 games handicap @2.20 @bet365
1/8-Finals
Khachanov – Nishikori: 20.05.2025 18:00 CEST
H2H: 2-5
Karen Khachanov has won three of his last five matches. In three tight sets last week in Rome, Khachanov lost against Alcaraz in the 1/8-Finals. It was a solid tournament for him.
Kei Nishikori has lost three of his last five matches. This is his second appearance in Geneva. In his debut campaign 2017, Nishikori lost against Zverev in the semifinals. Today, in the opening round, Nishikori defeated Tien in three tight sets after losing the opening set 4-6.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Khachanov is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He played his best tennis last week in Rome, where he almost defeated Alcaraz, who won the tournament. We believe he is a better player than Nishikori on clay and expect him to win in straight sets.
That being said, Khachanov winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Karen Khachanov winning 2-0 @2.00 @bet365
Ofner – Borges: 20.05.2025 19:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Sebastian Ofner has won four of his last five matches. This week in Geneva, the Austrian qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both qualifying matches in straight sets. He won against Gakhov 6-1 6-2 in the opening main draw round.
Nuno Borges has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Geneva, he won the opening-round match against Michelsen in three tight sets after losing the opening set 4-6. So far this season, he has not had any remarkable results on clay.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Ofner has played phenomenally so far in Geneva. He enjoys playing on fast clay courts, and we expect him to prolong his winning streak.
That being said, Ofner winning is a value bet.
